Painting in the French Alps

On a typical day we start with a relaxed healthy breakfast at around 8 am. We normally head off from the chalet at around 9.30, we either walk to one of the locations, which are close by, or you are chauffeured to the location. All of the locations that have been chosen are beautiful and interesting.

On your arrival at the venue there will be a seated shaded area for you to work under. After a brief orientation, Yvette will discuss the subject with you and assist you with any questions or concerns that you might have before starting. Throughout the day Yvette is there to hand to help and suggest alternative options available to you. This is done in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Beginners and the more experienced artists work alongside each other to make a satisfying and educational day. Yvette will demonstrate throughout the week.

There is always ample tea and coffee available on location.

A picnic is provided everyday so there is no need to leave the venue for lunch other then taking a walk to take in the breathtaking scenery. The day?s painting normally concludes at around 4.30 and then the group return to the chalet for afternoon tea. If everyone is still in full flow with their work at 4.30 and would like to stay and complete their subject then we will carry on until everyone agrees to stop to ensure that everyone gets the best out of their painting holiday.

We have an indoor location available if the weather choses not to be kind to us.
